What is Moriage Dragonware?
Dragonware refers to a specific type of moriage which depicts dragons, each tendril and scale raised – not with gilt but often in white or black. The most common pieces of dragon ware are tea sets, teapots, and vases. Moriage is a common name on slip or colored clay string decoration, mostly on Japanese porcelain, in look not unlike 'cake frosting' in which a diluted clay has been used to give the piece a three-dimensional appearance. A painstaking technique involved building up areas of enamel to produce a three-dimensional effect. less
